The oasis will be in the link space between the CAC and the Head Start entrance. They have also painted and installed new lighting to help the small space seem larger Draper said her favorite feature of the new space is the patio that was installed earlier this year.

It will offer a children’s play area, seating for reading and working, and two computers for public access. So, you scan your card, and it knows – because we told it – which locker has your stuff in it, so you just scan your card, and it pops up in your door and the stuff is checked out to you automatically.” It’s like a locker with a computer built into it. You can have your Library ‘holds’ sent to this locker, and you can pick them up 24 hours a day. “We’re having a concrete pad poured so that we can have the remote locker installed and that will be coming in about the same time in September. A book return has been in place for nearly a year and Draper said they are about to install a locker that will offer 24-hour access for people wanting to put something on hold but are not able to pick it up during regular library hours. It will not be staffed full-time, but there will be a self-serve checkout service, and it will be programmed in the same manner as the main branch. As the home to many important non-profit organizations including the Community Action Center, Healthy Community Initiative, Head Start and Fifty North, as well as its proximity to many schools on the south side on town, it makes sense for the library to set up a location there. She said the NCRC building is a perfect spot for a satellite library location for several reasons.

The long-discussed Northfield Public Library Oasis in the Northfield Community Resource Center should be ready to begin service sometime in September.ĭirector of Library Services Natalie Draper said the space is not very big, however it will have the same level of service that the community receives at the library’s main branch.
